Had something very fun.

a while ago i saw an upcoming magazine feature in the dutch magazine Autovisie (auto vision) regarding the 20 years type R existence.

This seemed like a fun way to get my car in the magazine and so i sent them an email regarding my car. against my expectations, i got an email that they've chosen my car to be featured. photo's, video and the mag thing itself i went there and ran into other R heads. All fun and games.

Cars featured were all the Type R's, except for NSX-R and FD2R.

Here are some photo's of a friend regarding this day.

Nice photos, I bet your really pleased to have your car featured. Its great to see all the Type R's together. Its rare to see a white ATR aswell there were only a small handful made. A UK car magazine did a similar feature a while back.
 
it is very weird to see your own car in the magazine haha. but very cool to have all these cars together. To see the different evolutions from EK to EP to FN and DC2 to DC5. but i enjoyed it alot.

do you know which magazine it is?

Might just be me...

But the Integra Type R was the first car to have the "Type R" badge on it, and that was in 1996.

That's not 20 years.

I think you will find that the first car to wear the R badge was the NSX Type R in 1992. Anyway, congratulations on the feature :nice:
 
It was called the NSX-R. Only fanboys called it a type R, and regardless, the NSX isnt even in those pictures :)
 
Looks good! But they should have tracked down a C/W JDM EP3?

Agree, plenty of them in the country, wouldn't have taken long if they mentioned it on a forum looking for volunteers.
 
Nice pics mate, ek9 looks very tidy.

You're hard to please lol :D
 
Looks cool. I wonder why they decided to have a black EP3? Seems a strange choice when all the others are white. Did they not come in white?
 
They didnt officially make it in white here. Then again were not supposed to have ek9s either. But this was nice to have the ep3 stand out like it did
